Everybody begins to realize it as lawn and garden-plot and shrub and tree begin to show signs of the wonderful life, under and within, which will not be denied. Upward, outward, they force their way the tender crocus, the snow drop, the lilac buds. And as we watch them, a similar life stirs deeply in us something which nothing in all the world but MUSIC can help us express. Don't you realize this? Haven't you realized it on a hundred occasions? And yet how large does Music figure in your life, how deep within you has the meaning of it gone? Music Is Rest Work is the lot of most of us (it is the best thing for all of us). To do it well, to get the best out of it, we need rest not the negative rest of merely doing nothing, but the positive rest of a mind rhythmically dancing to Music and storing up new energy for the morrow.
